The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly impacted morbidity and mortality worldwide. rollout of vaccination programs remains the most helpful action to contain dissemination. COVID-19 vaccines are commonly administered intramuscularly into arm. Ipsilateral axillary lymphadenopathy been reported as an adverse event after vaccination. Axillary following may mimic metasta...

Neurons in cortical area MT have localized receptive fields (RF) representing the contralateral hemifield and play an important role in processing visual motion. We recorded the activity of these neurons during a behavioral task in which two monkeys were required to discriminate and remember visual motion presented in the ipsilateral hemifield. During the task, the monkeys viewed two stimuli, s...

A typical approach in surrogate-based modeling is to assess the performance of alternative surrogate models and select the model that performs the best. In this paper, we extend the utility of an ensemble of surrogates to: i) identify regions of high uncertainties at locations where predictions of surrogates widely differ, and ii) provide a more robust approximation approach. We explore the pos...

Simple manual reaction time (MRT) to a visual target (S2) is shortened when a non-informative cue (S1) is flashed at the S2 location shortly before the onset of S2 (early facilitation). Afterwards, MRT to S2 appearing at the S1 location is lengthened (inhibition of return - IOR). Similar results have been obtained for saccadic reaction time (SRT). Moreover, when there is a temporal gap between ...

Elderly listeners, as a group, do not perform as well as younger listeners on tests of word recognition, particularly in the presence of competing noise. It has been suggested that elderly listeners may be less willing to guess at items when they are unsure of the correct response, and as a result omit more responses. Omitting responses on word recognition tests may deflate word recognition sco...

Background: The areas of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) with a high density of estrogen receptors are involved in cardiovascular regulation and send axonal projections to the rostroventrolateral medulla (RVLM). We aimed to find the contribution of the RVLM to cardiovascular responses elicited by glutamate microinjection into the BST. Methods: Experiments were done in α-ch...

Becker's naevus is an acquired persistent asymmetrical area of skin pigmentation, sometimes showing evidence of increased androgen sensitivity, and colocalizing with other developmental anomalies. We report a 30-year-old woman with clinical findings compatible with Becker's naevus on her right breast accompanied with hypoplasia of ipsilateral breast.

Introduction: Background: Radiotherapy of parotid tumors is achieved by different radiotherapy techniques. So they deliver the dose to organs at risk such as contralateral parotid, temporal lobe & spinal cord. The consequences of high dose to OARs are xerostomia, Temporal lobe necrosis and loss of hearing. Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare different treatment tech...
